Town centre residents have shared fears of eviction, rising rents and late-night partying due to holiday lets.
People who live in Frankwell in Shrewsbury town centre say their pets have been"traumatised by fireworks" from out-of-town visitors and suffered"sleepless weekends".
The group is now calling for ex-council houses to be banned from becoming short-term lets, holiday let owners to pay more in council tax and councils to have power to strip licences from problem properties. Porthill councillor Julian Dean was present at the meeting. "The biggest fear amongst everyone at the meeting came from their first-hand experience of short-term lets in Frankwell. People spoke about how much they loved the area but were contemplating moving because of the disruption from all-night parties in nearby AirBnbs.
The group's agreed aims include supporting mandatory registration and licensing of all holiday lets, the designation of a minimum percentage of housing to be reserved for long term residents, and the refusal of planning permission for short-term lets where there is a potential threat to public services, cultural heritage and businesses.
